Free World Pictorial poster, Vol. 4 No. 6 (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)
A Chinese-language photo sheet of about nine items. Pictures show a Taiwan stand at an international trade fair in California, the U.S. ambassador at a handover of glass art for a Chinese museum, a Far East sculpture exhibition, a radar antenna balloon, a U.S. scientist at work on a peaceful-atom project, Chinese naval officers visiting a U.S. naval school, an S-60 heavy-lift helicopter carrying a missile and Chinese and American pilots at an air-force conference. The tell is card-stacking: trade, cultural and military cooperation items are selected.
